A couple of weks ago many of you helped me over the dilema of how to celebrate my MIL's 74th birthday as she had terminal cancer.

Tonight she died.

Exactly as she wanted. At home with her 4 children & 2 of her sisters by her side.

So, as suggested, i am going to choose a clear night, and pick a star and wish her peace.

About 3 pm she got worse- and DH warned me. So I got a beautiful scented candle, lit it and thought of her all afternoon.

DH rang me at 7pm- and we had a very short conversation.He was very tearful

My boys & i blew out the candle after DH phoned at 7.15

His dad died in january this year too...so its all still so raw.

I feel like until he comes home tonight- then its not real (twighlight zone)...as i have not seen his grief.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
